Love/Hate is a full length comic chamber opera currently in development with American Opera Projects, Urban Arias, and ODC Theater. It’s slated for a premier run in five U.S. cities beginning in mid-2012. Concert Arias is a collection of art songs for voice & piano, or voice & orchestra. A new recording entitled The Bastard Wind is planned for 2012, including Concert Arias, books one and two. Swimming Lessons for the Dead is my first Jazz CD – this is a sample playlist drawn from the disc, which includes Roman Candles, winner of the Thelonious Monk Institute’s Jazz Composers Award. The Chamber Music playlist includes a variety of works, complete & excerpts, from solo piano to large ensemble. The Orchestra Music playlist includes compositions for chamber orchestra, full orchestra and voice with orchestra. The Licensing playlist includes excerpts and compositions suitable for use in film and broadcast synchronization. All performance & mechanical rights held by Jack Perla/Music Without Walls.

I’m a composer, pianist and improviser. And even though I’m a bit of a perfectionist my music is ultimately about the flow of things. Oftentimes that flow is inspired by my experiences – the people, art and literature I’ve come in contact with. They blur the lines between inspiration, and what I can do as an performer and create as a composer. I’ve been fortunate to work with many great musicians, including North Indian artists Zakir Hussain and Ronu Majumdar, bluegrass virtuosos Mike Marshall and Darol Anger, and AfroPop bandleader Ken Okulolu. Every sound from these collaborations has had an effect on me – my musical style and perception. As a composer, my goal is to embrace all the music I love to listen to and play, whether late Beethoven or late Coltrane. This gets me closer to that flow, to things unspoken that only music can reach.
